Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1

China Rose (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis) has a notable history of use in traditional medicine systems, particularly in Ayurveda and some folk medicines, for various ailments, including as a remedy for eye infections. The petals and other parts of the plant have been applied topically or used in washes for the eyes to relieve irritation or infection. However, this use is based primarily on traditional knowledge and anecdotal reports rather than robust scientific studies.

To date, there is very limited scientific research investigating the efficacy of China Rose in treating eye infections specifically. While some laboratory studies have demonstrated that extracts of Hibiscus rosa-sinensis possess general antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, these findings have not been directly correlated with clinical effectiveness for eye infections in humans. No well-designed clinical trials or pharmacological studies targeting ophthalmic conditions with China Rose have been published.

In summary, the use of China Rose for eye infections is supported mainly by traditional practices, with minimal scientific evidence to validate its effectiveness or safety for this indication. Caution should be exercised, and medical advice sought before using such traditional remedies for eye health.
